Default Re: Clearing Pokerroom bonii playing BJ?

The house advantage is more like .24% than .20%, and that assumes PokerRoom is telling the truth about the fact that the game is double deck. Maybe they "improved" the game to more decks without updating the information provided to the players. On a 7x bonus, you give back about 1/3 of your bonus in house advantage. On a 10x bonus, you give back about 1/2 of your bonus. If you clear it all in one day, you might qualify to get some extra money back, though, and the points may have some value.

You get the bonus after you complete the wagering requirements, unlike most casino bonuses. This means if you bust out, you have to redeposit and play more to get the bonus. Many bonuses with large wagering requirements can be treated like sticky bonuses, but not this one.

Another annoying thing that happens is that you often can't get a table where you play alone. You might have to wait for someone else to play his hands.
